Overview and Gameplay
Two young elephants with diabetes arrive at Camp Wa-kee just as rats and mice scatter the camp’s food and medical supplies. Packy & Marlon is a SNES educational platformer built around action stages and diabetes self-care.
The adventure follows four game days across camp areas with levels, enemies, bosses, passwords, and collectible supplies. Players gather food that fits the meal plan, track food groups, answer diabetes questions, and manage blood glucose and insulin while moving through woods, lakes, mountains, playgrounds, and cabins.
